just total class. kevin costner, george clooney and pierce brosnan. >> love it. >> phenomenal. >> all sexy great pictures. >> and hugh jackman? >> but hugh is usually in gym clothes. >> i always want to know why there are no country stars on these lists. because they dplesz a very harpress in a very sharp way. i was going to pick blake shelton because of the restraining order. >> is that on him or you? >> it's definitely on me. did you see there was some guy with his truck stuck in oklahoma during those floods and he took his truck on down there and pulled some guy out and the guy posted a picture and the "nightly news" did an interview with the guy he said "blake just showed up." >> another reason to love him. those that's what a real man does. so one snick. >> well, i was going to go with country stars. >> how about al roker and matt?
